Forty-six of Wisconsin’s timber varieties grow and are harvested on the reservation by the Menominee Tribe.Īpproximately 24 miles of the Wolf River, a federally designated wild river, flows through the Menominee Reservation. Today, because of the Menominee Tribes' world-famous sustained yield forest management practices, 95% of the reservation produces the finest old stands of hardwood, pine and hemlock located in the Great Lakes region. The present Menominee Reservation was established in 1854 in a treaty with the United States Government, leaving the tribe with only 234,000 acres of land. The Menominee Nation once occupied nine and one half million acres of land which is now central and mid-eastern Wisconsin and part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
